AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION © stories of survival, after she read my book!
Thank you for writing your book. I wrote a review on Amazon. It made me reflect on the gift of language and encouraged me to continue to move forward.
Mr. Fields is an inspiration. He has leveraged his struggle and post-stroke recovery to help and inspire others.
His book is a combination of journal entries, quotes, and bible verses.
I found encouragement and strength in his transparency and determination.
His quote, “No life is worth living unless it is a blessing to others", is especially powerful.
Mr. Fields' life is a reflection of that quote because his book is a blessing.

I am an author, The Power of I Believe, A book of motivation, encouragement and inspirational thoughts after a stroke, a Christian-themed book written to help stroke survivors and others touched by a disability regain their faith and strength as they recover and move forward with their lives. Though I wrote this book with stroke survivors in mind, the feedback I have received through my blog and Facebook page has shown me that The Power of I Believe is a source of inspiration for anyone who needs it.
Everyone experiences doubt at some point—whether in themselves or in God—and this is especially true after a sudden and traumatic event. I know from experience. In December 2006 I experienced a sudden stroke, which left me battling aphasia. As part of my recovery, I returned to the journals I had kept for many years to find the same inspiration that had motivated me throughout my life. Through these meditations, I came to understand The Power of I Believe.
Many people who have a stroke simply do not find the motivation they need during recovery. And this is not an experience unique to stroke survivors; anyone struggling with a disability, or even a difficult time in their life, can find it hard to muster the strength they need. The Power of I Believe is written for these people.
The Power of I Believe means making the choice to accomplish your goals—it means having the determination to keep striving and the faith to know that you will succeed. In this book I share the thoughts and the inspirations that gave me the determination and faith to keep working to overcome my aphasia and recover from my stroke. My reflections focus on the power of God, the power of faith, and the power of the mind. Through these inspirational words and thoughts and through my faith, I found the personal strength preserve. I am now back riding my bike, playing golf, swimming, and going to the fitness center.
An Honest and Courageous Advocate for Stroke Survivors.
